I need something to take the memory of a sad book away. Longer post - and thread - elsewhere but have had many suggestions that I should read something that is light and frothy.

Any ideas?

anything by Jasper Fforde - surreal and very funny
Terry Pratchett

oh do read the republic of love...it lets you wallow in the certain knowledge of love conquering all....without being trite or unintelligent.

I Capture the Castle isn't happy!! I dont' want to post a spoiler but Cadalaide - don't you think she doesn't really get what she wants? (But it is wonderful, OP, so do read it)

DEFINITELY Cold Comfort Farm though.

Three Men in a Boat

My Family and Other Animals

Enchanted April

Pride and Prejudice

A Countess Below Stairs (hard to find now but swoonsomely toshy and lovely)

Love in a Cold Climate or (even nicer but harder to find) The Blessing

Oooooo so many....
